Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development, in particular to a method and device for constructing a formation pore pressure prediction model and a storage medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] Abnormal high pressure has an important influence on the development of conventional and unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, and can cause wellbore instability, drilling fluid loss, blowout and many other complex accidents. With the development of oil and gas reservoirs to complex and ultra-deep formations, formation pore pressure prediction plays an increasingly important role in the future development of oil and gas reservoirs. Reasonable and accurate prediction of formation pore pressure is the basis for reasonable design of drilling fluid density, design of well structure and maintenance of wellbore pressure, and is the guarantee of safe, effective and rapid drilling. Formation pore pressure prediction includes forward prediction with foresight, monitoring while drilling with timeliness and detection after drilling with reference, among which the detection after drilling has the highest accuracy, and the logging data of adjacent wells and exploration wells can provide theoretical support and reference for the detection of formation pore pressure of the target well.
[0003] The prior art has carried out a lot of research on the prediction and detection of formation pore pressure of clastic rocks, and has established various formation pore pressure prediction methods such as equivalent depth method, Eaton method and effective stress method, but all of them are empirical methods based on normal compaction and undercompaction theory. Carbonate rocks are different from clastic rocks. First, the diagenesis of carbonate rocks is complex, in addition to compaction, there are other effects such as cementation and dissolution, which leads to the fact that the formation pore pressure prediction method based on undercompaction is not applicable to carbonate rock formations. Second, the skeleton rigidity of carbonate rocks is large, and the heterogeneity is strong, so the corresponding parameters of logging and seismic cannot be responded, and the P-wave velocity and bulk compressibility coefficient do not have obvious change rules. Finally, the abnormal high pressure of carbonate rock formation is caused by strong epigenetic modification during deposition, which leads to the existence of multiple solutions of the response characteristics, so the conventional formation pore pressure prediction method suitable for clastic salt rock is difficult to apply to carbonate rock. Therefore, the existing formation pore pressure prediction method has the problem of being difficult to apply to carbonate rock. SUMMARY

[0060] In the following, the method for constructing a formation pore pressure prediction model provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described mainly taking a processor as an execution subject.
[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the method for constructing a formation pore pressure prediction model is applied to a device for constructing a formation pore pressure prediction model, and can be used to predict the formation pore pressure of a carbonate rock reservoir. Through the measured data such as the formation pressure state of drill stem testing (DST) reaction and mud density, the processor can obtain the pressure structure of the target layer series of the carbonate rock. At the same time, the processor can determine the mineral composition of the core and the pore structure characteristics through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy, respectively.
[0062] In the prior art, the Xu-Payne model equivalent carbonate rocks to a mixture of dolomite, calcite, dry clay, pore fluid and total porosity, however, the parameters of the Xu-Payne model are difficult to obtain, and the mineral composition and pore type of carbonate rocks are relatively complex, resulting in poor effect of the Xu-Payne model in actual application. To solve this problem, the embodiment of the present application optimizes the Xu-Payne model according to the pressure structure of the target layer system, the mineral composition of the core and the pore structure characteristics, to obtain an optimized Xu-Payne model. The optimized Xu-Payne model determines the equivalent mineral composition of the carbonate rock matrix as dolomite, calcite, anhydrite, quartz, halite and dry clay, determines the pore type as clay fracture, microfracture, intergranular pore and dissolution pore, and determines the pore fluid as water and gas. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a mineral composition is schematically shown according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in the figure, the mineral composition can include calcite, dolomite, anhydrite, quartz, halite, dry clay, potassium feldspar, pyrite, clay fracture, microfracture, intergranular pore and dissolution pore. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the mineral composition can include calcite, dolomite, anhydrite, quartz, halite, dry clay, potassium feldspar, pyrite, clay fracture, microfracture, intergranular pore and dissolution pore.
[0063] Based on the optimized Xu-Payne model, the processor can determine the bulk modulus of the carbonate rock matrix, the bulk modulus of the rock framework and the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid, respectively, and further determine the bulk modulus of the saturated rock according to the bulk modulus of the carbonate rock matrix, the bulk modulus of the rock framework and the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid. After determining the bulk modulus of the saturated rock, the processor can determine the elastic modulus coupling parameter of the carbonate rock matrix, the rock framework and the pore fluid and the average of the stress in multiple directions, and determine the bulk strain of the saturated rock according to the average of the stress in multiple directions and the bulk modulus of the saturated rock. Finally, the processor can construct a formation pore pressure prediction model according to the elastic modulus coupling parameter and the bulk strain of the saturated rock.
[0064] By the technical solution, the pressure structure of the target layer system of the carbonate rock, the core mineral composition and the pore structure characteristics are obtained, and then the Xu-Payne model is optimized according to the pressure structure of the target layer system, the core mineral composition and the pore structure characteristics to obtain the optimized Xu-Payne model. Then, based on the optimized Xu-Payne model, the bulk modulus of the carbonate rock matrix, the bulk modulus of the rock skeleton and the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid are determined respectively, and then the bulk modulus of the saturated rock is determined according to the bulk modulus of the carbonate rock matrix, the bulk modulus of the rock skeleton and the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid. Finally, the formation pore pressure prediction model is constructed based on the bulk modulus of the saturated rock. Based on the optimized Xu-Payne model, the formation pore pressure prediction model suitable for the carbonate rock can be constructed, so that the accuracy of predicting the formation pore pressure of the carbonate rock is improved.
[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, step 103, based on the optimized Xu-Payne model, respectively determining the bulk modulus of the carbonate rock matrix, the bulk modulus of the rock skeleton and the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid, can include:
[0066] Based on the optimized Xu-Payne model, the equivalent mineral composition, pore type and pore fluid of the carbonate rock matrix are determined.
[0067] Based on the equivalent mineral composition, the bulk modulus of the carbonate rock matrix is determined.
[0068] Based on the pore type, the bulk modulus of the rock skeleton is determined.
[0069] Based on the volume modulus and saturation degree corresponding to the pore fluid, the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid is determined.
[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the processor can determine the bulk modulus of the carbonate rock matrix, the bulk modulus of the rock skeleton and the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid based on the optimized Xu-Payne model. The optimized Xu-Payne model determines the equivalent mineral composition of the carbonate rock matrix as dolomite, calcite, anhydrite, quartz, halite and dry clay, determines the pore type as clay fracture, microfracture, intergranular pore and dissolution pore hole, and determines the pore fluid as water and gas. Therefore, the processor can determine the equivalent mineral composition, pore type and pore fluid of the carbonate rock matrix. Further, the processor can determine the bulk modulus of the carbonate rock matrix based on the equivalent mineral composition, determine the bulk modulus of the rock skeleton based on the pore type, and determine the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid based on the volume modulus and saturation degree corresponding to the pore fluid. In this way, the processor can determine the bulk modulus of the carbonate rock matrix, the bulk modulus of the rock skeleton and the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid based on the optimized Xu-Payne model, which is convenient for subsequent construction of the formation pore pressure prediction model.
[0071] In the embodiments of the present application, the volume modulus of the carbonate rock matrix can be determined based on the equivalent mineral components, which can include:
[0072] The upper limit of the volume modulus and the lower limit of the volume modulus are respectively determined according to the volume percentage and the volume modulus corresponding to the equivalent mineral components;
[0073] The volume modulus of the carbonate rock matrix is determined by the VRH average theory in combination with the upper limit of the volume modulus and the lower limit of the volume modulus.
[0074] In the embodiments of the present application, the processor can determine the volume modulus of the carbonate rock matrix based on the equivalent mineral components. The processor can respectively determine the upper limit of the volume modulus and the lower limit of the volume modulus according to the volume percentage and the volume modulus corresponding to the equivalent mineral components. The upper limit of the volume modulus satisfies formula (3):
[0075]
[0076] The lower limit of the volume modulus satisfies formula (4):
[0077]
[0078] wherein, M V is the upper limit of the volume modulus, M R is the lower limit of the volume modulus, N i is the volume percentage of the i th mineral in the equivalent mineral components, K i is the volume modulus of the i th mineral, and H is the number of mineral types.
[0079] The physical parameters of the rock components at each depth in the carbonate rock formation can be determined according to the analysis of the wellhead returned cuttings and in combination with the logging data, or can be obtained by XRD analysis. Table 1 schematically shows the physical parameters of a rock component according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Table 1, the processor can determine the volume modulus corresponding to each mineral, and thus respectively determine the upper limit of the volume modulus and the lower limit of the volume modulus according to the volume percentage and the volume modulus corresponding to each mineral in the equivalent mineral components.

[0082] After the upper limit of the volume modulus and the lower limit of the volume modulus are determined, the processor can determine the volume modulus of the carbonate rock matrix by the VRH average theory. The volume modulus of the carbonate rock matrix satisfies formula (5):
[0083]
[0084] wherein K s is the bulk modulus of the carbonate rock matrix, N i is the volume percentage of the i th mineral in the equivalent mineral composition, K i is the bulk modulus of the i th mineral, and H is the number of mineral types.
[0085] In the embodiments of the present application, the bulk modulus of the rock matrix can satisfy formula (1):
[0086]
[0087] wherein K * is the bulk modulus of the rock matrix, φ is the porosity, N is the number of pore types, K i is the bulk modulus of the i th pore type, V i is the volume fraction of the i th pore type, P (*) is the geometric factor of the i th pore type, which is determined by the aspect ratio of the pore type.
[0088] In the embodiments of the present application, the processor can determine the bulk modulus of the rock matrix based on the pore types. The pore types can include clay cracks, micro cracks, intergranular pores and dissolution cavities. According to the porosity and the bulk modulus, volume fraction and geometric factor corresponding to the pore types, the processor can determine the bulk modulus of the rock matrix. In this way, the processor can determine the bulk modulus of the rock matrix based on the pore types.
[0089] In the embodiments of the present application, determining the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid based on the bulk modulus and the saturation of the pore fluid can include:
[0090] For the case of uniform filling of the pore fluid, a first equivalent bulk modulus is determined according to the bulk modulus and the saturation of the pore fluid through the Wood model;
[0091] For the case of separation of the pore fluid, a second equivalent bulk modulus is determined according to the bulk modulus and the saturation of the pore fluid through the Patchy model;
[0092] The first equivalent bulk modulus and the second equivalent bulk modulus are arithmetically averaged to determine the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid.
[0093] In the embodiment of the present application, the processor can determine the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid based on the bulk modulus and the saturation of the pore fluid corresponding to the pore fluid. The filling mode of the pore fluid should be between the fully mixed case and the saturated patch filling case, therefore, the processor can determine a first equivalent bulk modulus according to the bulk modulus and the saturation of the pore fluid corresponding to the pore fluid through the Wood model for the case of uniform filling of the pore fluid. For the case of separation of the pore fluid, a second equivalent bulk modulus is determined according to the bulk modulus and the saturation of the pore fluid corresponding to the pore fluid through the Patchy model. The first equivalent bulk modulus satisfies formula (6):
[0094]
[0095] The second equivalent bulk modulus satisfies formula (7):
[0096] K f2 =S w K w +S g K g ; (7)
[0097] Wherein, K f1 is the first equivalent bulk modulus, K f2 is the second equivalent bulk modulus, S w is the saturation of water, S g is the saturation of gas, S w + g =1, K w is the bulk modulus of water, and K g is the bulk modulus of gas.
[0098] The processor can further perform arithmetic averaging on the first equivalent bulk modulus and the second equivalent bulk modulus to determine the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid. The equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid satisfies formula (8):
[0099]
[0100] Wherein, K f is the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid, K f1 is the first equivalent bulk modulus, and K f2 is the second equivalent bulk modulus. In this way, the processor can determine the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid.
[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, step 105 of constructing a formation pore pressure prediction model based on the bulk modulus of the saturated rock can include:
[0102] Determining the elastic modulus coupling parameters of the carbonate rock matrix, the rock skeleton and the pore fluid;
[0103] determining an average value of the earth stress in multiple directions;
[0104] determining a volumetric strain of the saturated rock according to the average value of the earth stress in multiple directions and the bulk modulus of the saturated rock;
[0105] constructing a formation pore pressure prediction model according to the elastic modulus coupling parameter and the volumetric strain of the saturated rock.
[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, the processor can construct the formation pore pressure prediction model based on the bulk modulus of the saturated rock. First, the processor can determine the bulk modulus of the saturated rock according to the Biot-Gassmann equation. The bulk modulus of the saturated rock satisfies formula (9):
[0107] K = K * (φ) + α 2 M; (9)
[0108] wherein K is the bulk modulus of the saturated rock, K * (φ) is the bulk modulus of the rock skeleton, α is the Biot's coefficient, and M is a representation of the elastic property of the pore fluid.
[0109] The representation of the elastic property of the pore fluid satisfies formula (10):
[0110]
[0111] The Biot's coefficient satisfies formula (11):
[0112]
[0113] wherein M is a representation of the elastic property of the pore fluid, α is the Biot's coefficient, φ is the porosity, K s is the bulk modulus of the carbonate matrix, K * (φ) is the bulk modulus of the rock skeleton, and K f is the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid.
[0114] Thus, the processor can determine the elastic modulus coupling parameter of the carbonate matrix, the rock skeleton, and the pore fluid. The elastic modulus coupling parameter satisfies formula (12):
[0115] A = αM; (12)
[0116] wherein A is the elastic modulus coupling parameter, α is the Biot's coefficient, and M is a representation of the elastic property of the pore fluid.
[0117] Further, the processor can determine an average value of the earth stress in multiple directions, so as to determine a volumetric strain of the saturated rock according to the average value of the earth stress in multiple directions and the bulk modulus of the saturated rock. The volumetric strain of the saturated rock satisfies formula (13):
[0118]
[0119] wherein, ε is the volumetric strain of the saturated rock, is the average of the earth stresses in multiple directions, K is the bulk modulus of the saturated rock.
[0120] Since the carbonate rock formation of the target layer system is relatively dense, it is difficult for the pore fluid in the overpressure system to be discharged, and it can be regarded as a closed system. The size of the formation overpressure is jointly determined by the deformation of the rock skeleton and the stress of the pore fluid. Therefore, the relationship between the formation overpressure and the external force acting on the formation is coupled by using the sleeve undrained model. The pore fluid is only subjected to the action of part of the earth stress, and the amount of the pore fluid does not change. The relationship between the formation pore pressure and the external stress can be expressed as formula (14):
[0121] P p =Aε; (14)
[0122] Combined with formula (12) and formula (13), the formation pore pressure prediction model satisfies formula (2):
[0123]
[0124] wherein, P p is the formation pore pressure, A is the elastic modulus coupling parameter, ε is the volumetric strain of the saturated rock, α is the Biot coefficient, M is the representation of the elastic properties of the pore fluid, is the average of the earth stresses in multiple directions, K is the bulk modulus of the saturated rock.
[0125] In the embodiments of the present application, the elastic modulus coupling parameter of the carbonate rock matrix, the rock skeleton and the pore fluid can include:
[0126] According to the bulk modulus of the carbonate rock matrix and the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid, the representation of the elastic properties of the pore fluid is determined.
[0127] According to the bulk modulus of the carbonate rock matrix and the bulk modulus of the rock skeleton, the Biot coefficient is determined.
[0128] According to the representation of the elastic properties of the pore fluid and the Biot coefficient, the elastic modulus coupling parameter is determined.
[0129] In the embodiment of the present application, the processor can determine the representation of the elastic property of the pore fluid according to the Biot coefficient, the porosity, the bulk modulus of the carbonate matrix and the equivalent bulk modulus of the pore fluid. Meanwhile, the processor can determine the Biot coefficient according to the bulk modulus of the carbonate matrix and the bulk modulus of the rock skeleton. The processor can determine the elastic modulus coupling parameter by multiplying the representation of the elastic property of the pore fluid and the Biot coefficient. In this way, the processor can determine the elastic modulus coupling parameter so as to subsequently establish the formation pore pressure prediction model.
[0130] In the embodiment of the present application, the formation pore pressure prediction model can satisfy formula (2):
[0131]
[0132] wherein P is the formation pore pressure, a is the Biot coefficient, M is the representation of the elastic property of the pore fluid, p is the average of the earth stresses in multiple directions, and K is the bulk modulus of the saturated rock.
[0133] In the embodiment of the present application, the processor can construct the formation pore pressure prediction model. In actual application, by determining the Biot coefficient, the representation of the elastic property of the pore fluid, the average of the earth stresses in multiple directions and the bulk modulus of the saturated rock, the processor can realize the prediction of the formation pore pressure through the formation pore pressure prediction model. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the comparison between the formation pore pressure and the measured formation pressure according to an embodiment of the present application is shown schematically. Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of the present application, the prediction of the formation pore pressure can be realized through the formation pore pressure prediction model, and the accuracy of the predicted formation pore pressure is relatively high.

[0142] In one specific embodiment of this application, the processor can analyze the target layer pressure structure. Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a target layered pressure structure according to a specific embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 5 As shown, the pressure structure of the Ordovician strata in a certain block of the Ordos Basin is described. The Ma-5 Member is dominated by normal pressure, weak overpressure, and strong overpressure, with a formation pressure coefficient ranging from 0.88 to 1.96. The overpressure amplitude varies considerably and does not show a clear correlation with depth. The Ma-4 Member exhibits normal pressure, weak overpressure, and strong overpressure, with a formation pressure coefficient ranging from 0.92 to 1.80. The vertical pressure distribution is also relatively complex, but the overpressure amplitude varies less than that of the Ma-5 Member. The Ma-3 Member exhibits weak overpressure to strong overpressure, with a formation pressure coefficient ranging from 1.46 to 1.81. The vertical pressure distribution is relatively concentrated.
[0143] Subsequently, the structure of the carbonate rock includes the target stratigraphic pressure structure, core mineral composition, and pore structure characteristics. The processor can optimize the Xu-Payne model based on the target stratigraphic pressure structure, core mineral composition, and pore structure characteristics to obtain an optimized Xu-Payne model. Based on the optimized Xu-Payne model, the processor can determine the bulk modulus of the carbonate matrix using VRH averaging theory, determine the bulk modulus of the rock skeleton using a DEM model, and determine the equivalent bulk modulus of pore fluids based on pore fluid filling conditions. Furthermore, combining the bulk modulus of the carbonate matrix, the rock skeleton, and the equivalent bulk modulus of pore fluids, the processor can determine the bulk modulus of saturated rock using the Biot-Gassmann equation, thereby establishing a formation pore pressure prediction model.
